Seville Classics MSC10166 Buttons Replacement

Broken buttons can make it hard turn on or change the settings, which can impact the functionality of your fan.

You will not need any special skills in order to complete this project.

Great work but our problem is the micro switch itself, after exposing the circuit board I shorted the backside solder connections to cycle the fan on and off, everything works perfectly…..now I only need to know a part number so I can find a on/off micro switch.

any suggestions?

Thanks for any help you can provide

Is there a way to keep the fan in ALWAYS ON position. So I can control it’s ON/OFF using a smart plug?
